NHL Rumors: Rick Tocchet Didn’t Want to be One of the Highest Paid Coaches With the Canucks
James Nichols: New Jersey Devils forward Curtis Lazar said that he’d been dealing with a knee injury for most of the season. He was never playing at 100% as he had a few setbacks throughout the season.
Bill Spaulding: Devils defenseman Brenden Dillon on his neck injury: “I’ve never had anything that bad in my career. Suffered a neck injury on the play…short term within rounds one and two. I wasn’t going to be able to come back but long term it seems optimistic that I’ll have a normal summer and be ready for camp.”
Amanda Stein: Devils defenseman Brett Pesce suffered a shoulder injury in Game 1.
Mitchell Clinton: Winnipeg Jets forward Nikolaj Ehlers traveled with the team to St. Louis. Coach Scott Arniel isn’t sure if Ehlers will skate this morning in a no-contact jersey or not.
Ken Wiebe: Arniel said that Ehlers won’t play in Game 6.
Darrin Bauming: Jets forward Mark Scheifele didn’t travel with the team to St. Louis for Game 6, according to coach Scott Aniel.
“He won’t be coming on the trip. Extremely . You’re hoping maybe for the best, wake up today, things are better. But right now he won’t be making trip and we’ll see, we’ll just go day to day moving forward.”
NHL Rumors: Anaheim Ducks, and the Pittsburgh Penguins
Scheifele took two big hits from Brayden Schenn and Radek Faksa in the first period of Game 5, and didn’t come out for the second.

Monty on Scheifele injury: “Let’s make it clear — No. 55 (Scheifele) got hurt from the Faksa hit. He played six minutes after the Schenn hit. He didn’t come back after he got rocked by Faksa.”
